DNS name resolving under W2K

For a new software-pakket (personel administration) the software firm asks me if my i-net settings allow DNS name resolving.

I have W2K SP2 + IE 6 SP1

I think DNS resolving is like a public IP, not a dynamic one. I only have a dynamic one, so ... if i give the firm an IP like "iamhere.no-ip.org" ... would that be OK ?

When i phone the firm no-one can help me because the two "specialists" are ill.

uhm your inet settings allow dns resolving, means that you have a DNS server configured in your TCP/IP settings of your network

start -> run -> cmd

ipconfig /all

Code:

line with ** should be the one from your inet provider

if you use DNS in your LAN, they will be happy :)

you can alternative use, netbios, WINS, etc

they want to verify if DNS is used or not :)
